It was 27 years ago, he was in the lobby of McDonald's, asking for his first job.

"The people at McDonald's opened up to him. It taught them to be kind to other people, and Chris loved all of these people at McDonald's. And the more he loved them, the more he loved them. And you can see in all the pictures how much they cared about him. They gave him the helping hand that he needed and then they gave him love, genuine love," she said.

His first job was the only job he would ever have.

He loved being a lobby greeter at the Norcross McDonald's, and took pride in the job he did every day.

His mother told 11Alive that he would take the handicap sticker off their car when they pulled up to work - he didn't want his co-workers to think he was any different than them.
